The Peepshow at Wilde Renate: A Glimpse into a Sensual Fantasy

The Peepshow at Wilde Renate: A Glimpse into a Sensual Fantasy

performer: Bishop Black

Tucked away in the depths of the Salon Zur Wilden Renate beer garden lies the Peepshow, a glimpse into a ruby fantasy.

Between the currently closed club and the self-service bar stands the peepshow box, so unassuming, from afar that you could even miss it on any casual evening downing beers and having a smoke. Luckily, tonight you’re a bit more curious, and on a second glance, you notice little cutouts looking into the box, each with a small vagina plastered underneath and a sign that says “tip the slit.” Just before 20:30, a voice announces to the crowd over a megaphone that there are 2 tickets left for the 20:30 peepshow. Buy one. Buy the other for your friend if you have a spare five euros.

Dreaming in Quarantine: Wilden Renate’s Overmorrow Installation

Dreaming in Quarantine: Wilden Renate’s Overmorrow Installation

Wilden Renate’s Overmorrow is an immersive walkthrough art experience created by over 40 artists, from well-known collectives like Bad Bruises and TrashEra to newcomers. The installations, performances, and exhibitions occupy most of the indoor spaces of Wilde Renate, and offer about 1 hour of exploration in dark, morphing spaces.

The audience enters in groups of two, with 5-minute intervals, which is about the time allocated to each room, and makes their way through the 17 interwoven “Positions.” The Positions range from exhibitions of oil paintings through interactive installations to performances, and are loosely tied together by the themes of isolation and future. They often overlap, reflect on each other, and can be seen or heard in advance, which adds to the dreamlike nature of the journey.

A Wild Berlin Wedding at Wilde Renate

A Wild Berlin Wedding at Wilde Renate

Berlin is a place of unconventional ideas and I think that pretty much applies to all possible things, even something as traditional as a wedding. This beautiful new video by the wedding film makers Hearts on Tape shows a wild Mexican-style wedding taking place at the nightclub Wilde Renate. It looks absolutely beautiful and fun and unique and it’s totally how I imagine the cool folks of Berlin getting hitched. What it is is the new music video for the Moewe Remix of Moby’s new song Almost Home. Enjoy the beautiful video and some photos from the set of the film shooting by the talented wedding photographer Jule Müller (one half of the fabulous Im Gegenteil) after the jump.

You only know Berlin when you have seen it from a boat! How could you enjoy a party more than on a sunny day on a boat on the Spree? The Salon Zur Wilden Renate meanwhile is a constant institution within the current Berlin club culture. Once a year they do a party on a boat. The following video of the MS Renate, how the boat is called, was made on this year’s first of May and has just been released, guided by a nice remix of 80s band Talk Talk Talk’s song It’s my life. The line-up is Margaret Dygas, Peak & Swift and Samanta Fox of the Wilde Renate crew. Enjoy.

The wild Renate

Salon Zur Wilden Renate

Last weekend we finally got the chance to check out the new location in Friedrichshain that we’ve been hearing so much about. It goes by the auspicious name of “Salon Zur Wilden Renate” and is located rather unfortunate at the border of Friedrichshain right at the Treptower bridge. Last time we tried to go there it was already pretty wild on the outside with people piling up in front of the door like they were selling bananas back in the good old GDR days. We gave up after nothing moved for half an hour. So that’s why we showed up pretty early last Saturday, and voila we came in pretty quickly. Read on to find out how it was and see some photos of the party.

House of Lunacy- GOLDEN EXXXTASY: Embrace your Radiance in the Depths of Winter

As if by magic, this first instalment of House of Lunacy 2024 lands on the first Full Moon of the new year. Let us come together as this beautiful community and dance under that great celestial body in our skies.
In the heart of winter, where the nights are longest, our minds are at their darkest and the chill bites the deepest, a shimmering beacon of warmth emerges from our Golden beacon of hope and new beginnings.
As we bathe Renate in a golden light, adorned with our creative installations, divine dancers and delicious DJ’s, we set the stage for an evening of decadence and delight. Gold isn’t merely about material wealth; it symbolises rebirth, transformation, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. The atmosphere resonates with the phoenix’s spirit rising from the ashes – a metaphor for personal growth, resilience, and embracing the beauty that emerges from life’s challenges.
At the heart of this event lies the concept that gold is not just a colour but a state of being. Embrace the opulence of your inner self, adorned in shades of gold that mirror the luminescent brilliance of the moon and your inner magic. From glistening fabrics to golden accessories, let your attire be an expression of your unique radiance, whether DIY or thrifted treasures each creative costume will contribute to the collective effervescence of this experience. You are the fuel to this fire.
As winter’s grip tightens, we invite you to cast aside the shadows, the darkness and immerse yourself in a night of opulent revelry, where gold takes centre stage, and lunacy becomes an exquisite dance beneath the celestial glow.
We can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful creation we have made together as a community of delicious souls. Our common ground has been creating these worlds of Art, beauty and sex positive freedom and we are so grateful for each and every one of you that has joined us over the years.
